Max Verstappen won a chaotic Qatar Grand Prix as Lando Norris was given a huge penalty which put him out of the lead fight.
Verstappen and Norris were locked in a tense lead battle until a harsh 10-second stop/go penalty for the McLaren driver put him at the back, before he recovered to finish 10th. Charles Leclerc finished a surprise second, with Oscar Piastri in third so McLaren saw their lead in the Constructors' Championship cut to 21 points over Ferrari, so the title race will go down to next weekend's season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
